[QUOTE="YJMD, post: 388541, member: 1929"] Woody's language both includes the pivotal nature of the nose as far as 0-technique, size, quickness, ability to draw double-teams, and penetrating ability. However, it also states language about disguising which gap the DL is responsible for, [I]including[/I] the nose. So, the NT will line up over the center but will not necessarily have 2-gap responsibility. Him playing 1-gap responsibility without declaring which gap via alignment is pivotal. While it's true that the NT is the most critical defensive player, he also has an advantage relative to other DL when lining up over center. The center has the responsibility to snap the ball and thus is in worse blocking position than the rest of the OL. This is why you double-team the nose tackle and not just because he's a gifted player. However, if the NT is going to use quickness and slant to one gap or another, picking a double-team is not so trivial because you won't know which side the block will have to come from. [/QUOTE]
